You know what now really offends me?

[Brewinblue]

The easily offended. You know them, the poutragers over every single perceived slight, or non-PC utterance.

Agree, or disagree?

[leftstreet]

1. What does 'non-PC' mean?

[TBF]

2. lol

[Wilms]

9. "non-PC" means a Mac.

But whatever you do, DON'T quote me.

Now move over and pass me the salt shaker, please.

[whttevrr]

34. It's those Apple fanboys...

[marmar]

3. Actually, I get more irritated by the use of PC as a pejorative.

[demmiblue]

11. Yep +1

[Blue_Tires]

13. The only time I ever even hear "PC" mentioned...

It's usually from someone wondering why people frown upon him using his favorite racial/gender/religious slurs from junior high school... I mean, he used to be able to see those words all the time and not get in trouble, right??

(This train of thought always descends into a "In MY day...." -type of rant which always ends with a lamentation of modern times and the "Pussification of America...&quot

[marmar]

15. Exactly.

[Brewinblue]

19. OK, I misspoke to an extent regarding PC language.

I abhor, to the nth degree, all slurs based upon race, sex, color, orientation, nationality, and non-Christian religion (sorry about that last one, but hey).

But I find the people who become OUTRAGED at utterances where clearly no harm or offense was intended ( instead a case of mere ignorance or a lapse in judgement) to be just as offensive.

Why?

Because our side should be the better side.

[Squinch]

27. So if someone disagrees with your assessment about whether offense was intended, or

your assessment about whether a given statement is inoffensive, that's what you hate?

Got it.

Personally, I always try to keep in mind the fact that things are called "politically correct" because their alternatives are incorrect.

[Brewinblue]

29. No

not at all Squinch.

I was going to answer this, but fuck it.

Enjoy the RIGHT life.

[Squinch]

35. Um.... you did answer it.

[etherealtruth]

30. Yep! n/t

[darkangel218]

4. So youre offended by the people who are offended

Who are offended by other people which too, are easily offended

Got it

[Brewinblue]

8. I offend the FUCK out of myself!

I'm actually half serious on this, but I have a strong feeling you get that.

[Posteritatis]

28. Fractal outrage is the best outrage! (nt)

[bunnies]

5. Uh oh.

[darkangel218]

6. you stole the Easter eggs.

[Buns_of_Fire]

33. That strip was the first thing I thought of...

I was going to dig around and try to find it. Good thing I read the entire thread first (for a change).

[markpkessinger]

31. What some people pejoratively refer to as "PC" is in most cases just good manners . . .

. . . and in my experience, those who complain about "PC" are in most cases those looking for an excuse for their own boorishness.

[Marrah_G]

32. examples please
